Famed conservative radio and television commentator Geraldo Rivera is exploring a run for U.S. Senate in Ohio as a Republican, telling cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer that he thought he could run a campaign outside the normal bounds of politics.

Rivera, 77, has been a staple on television and radio since the 1970s as both a correspondent and conservative political pundit. Rivera, who lives in Shaker Heights, tweeted Wednesday afternoon he was mulling running for Republican Sen. Rob Portman’s seat after Portman announced he would not seek re-election.

In an interview with cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer, Rivera said he was serious about the endeavor and planned on traveling the state on a listening tour in the coming weeks to solicit feedback about his potential candidacy. He said he and his wife, Erica Levy, a Democrat, would talk it over in the coming weeks as they decide....

I think this elderly, logic-challenged lefty should just run to be Hannity's man-wife.

“I’d rather have a lib than a blue-blood Rino. At least you know when the lib is going to screw you.”

Really? You’d think we learn something from Georgia: At least with RINOs the filibuster was protected, with Democrat control, it’s just a matter of time before that’s gone...and with that the Second Amendment.

But then we never really wanted to keep our guns, did we? Otherwise we may have given some thought before enabling a Democrat takeover of the country.

"Excuse me? He may run as a Republican. But he ain't no conservative."

Did not you get the memo? Being a Republican does not equate to being a conservative.

Compared to Joe Biden, Geraldo looks like Superman.

Geraldo Rivera is not a “conservative” even though the dishonest article says he is. Rivera is not an honest reporter. Rivera went by the name Jerry Riviera until he went for the phony affirmative action tactic. This is a stupid article

Hopefully, Rivera will quit Fox News and no one will ever hear about him again.

So you’re gonna be one of the idiots that votes against Trump?

Just because your family apparently ages lousily doesn’t mean all do.

My uncle is 92, many are in their 90s, and sharp as whips

I remember when WHOREraldo “came out” as Republican a few years ago. That was an even bigger WTF moment than Dennis Hopper identifying as GOP. I can’t think of a single Republican policy Rivera actually supports. It’s like he’s trying to win a “World’s Biggest RINO” contest or something

I would vote against someone that old. Yes. Without a doubt.

The world is changing. That generation battled their way into power when I was a teen. It is time for them to give it up and let the next generation step up.

I am sure your 90+ year old parents are wonderful and vital people. But we are not asking them to work 20 hour days and make complex decisions.

Trump is an exceptional man. But for every Trump there are 50 Biden’s.

He would be Portman 2.0. We don’t need another RINO. His wife is a Democrat. So far, the Republican field is a huge disappointment.

Geraldo lies about his name, real name Gerry Rivers!

Lied about it to get program time on TV and radio back in the 70’s.

White Boy Gerry Rivers was a nothing here in California, where the “HISPANIC” Geraldo Rivera started to hit it big.

Being “HISPANIC” was a big deal here back in the 70’s, brown power and all that La Raza CRAP.

NEVER VOTE FOR A PHONY HISPANIC!!!!
